Crown Prince Squash Risotto
Method
Serves four as a main dish.
1: In a wide pan, gently sauté the onion and garlic in the butter until tender but not browned.
2: Add the rice and turn in the butter until all the grains are coated. Gently fry until the grains are transluscent.
3: Stir in the squash then add the wine and bring to the boil. Reduce to a medium heat. Add the hot stock 2 ladles at a time, stirring frequently, and allow to be absorbed by the rice before adding more. It should take about 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and all the stock is absorbed. The rice should appear thick and glossy and still have a slight 'bite'.
4: Season to taste with the mace, salt and white pepper. Mix in the Pecorino. Spoon into large bowls and serve immediately, garnished with the extra grated Pecorino and parsley.
